    Almost on par with a Vaporfly. The midfoot is stiff which makes for a rocker-like ride and great energy return. Can wear for everyday runs when you want to save your legs, tempo runs or races. Only issue is it's easy to roll your ankle as the side-to-side stability is lacking.

    My running was in a lull and my buddy lofted me a pair and had fun running again. Real cool shoe for mid strikers and bouncy feel. The shoe fires when you get on the pace. No grip or stability on trails but that's expected. Put 450 miles on them and not to worse for the wear (155lbs). Just ordered a new pair

    Despite being non-plated, this shoe is very responsive and fast. They runs true-to-size and fits so well I almost forgot I was wearing shoes while running in them. The best feeling in the shoe is when picking up the pace; however, easy miles felt just fine.

    Super light with the perfect combination of support, cushion, and pop. They feel fun to run in like the New Balance Rebel, but without the deep squish.

    Pretty good cushion and really lightweight personality I prefer a lower stack height on a daily training shoe.
